I commented earlier on the Brexit campaign. We began to see the first of the "Leave" posters as we went outside London yesterday.
Today, the day of the poll, we got talking to "In" supporters at a stall in Uxbridge. They were Labour Party people. One commented that people's concerns with immigration and fear of losing government services was a big factor for supporters of the "Leave" campaign. He even mentioned big corporations. So, with such an accurate analysis of the neoliberal problem by a major party, why not fix it?! Pic of the stall below.
Between our unit and Russell Square station (550m), there were TWO polling places. We went in to one of them to chat to the workers, just before the polls opened. The polling places were small, and people had to go to their local polling place to vote - just as in Singapore. No posters outside either.
And saw this today outside Uxbridge. We dared to walk across it..

Comments we overheard in outer parts of London were tending towards Leave while suspect the Remain is stronger in the city and among professionals.
